I remember reading this the night you published it. (I thought I commented, sorry) Happy birthday, of course. It’s wonderful and as usual, very well articulated.So many lovely and important words of wisdom to both be reminded of and to reflect on. Thank you for taking the time to share. You’re wonderful.

You’re 37? Nah I don’t believe it. Maybe 28 or 29 but not 37 Happy Birthday to you. I know you had a glorious one. Your 37 life lessons are on point. I can relate to all of them even though I am only 25 years old. Stay awesome and witty! We all appreciate you and those that don’t, well they need to get with the program

Happy Birthday again Lana aka Willa. We all love you

Thank you for reading and commenting, Brendyn.

You may be 24 but you are not foolish. We are who we are at the moment we are in. Knowing where I was when I was 24 and seeing where I am now makes me excited about aging. Life is fantastically intriguing. We learn as we go.

I’m glad this post came at a time when you could absorb it.

You’re truly a fantastic person. Although our contact is sporadic as of late, I value each moment we get to connect and I always appreciate your humor and insight. Keep on keeping on.

First, happy birthday!!! Second, thank you very, very much for writing this.

I’m 24. Young, foolish, and ambitious for the most part. These lessons you’ve learned and are learning are great signposts for me to look to. I may not adhere perfectly or at all, but know that I really, sincerely appreciate you sharing them. It comes at a specific time in my life.

It’s hard being on the outside of a relationship and wishing things were different for them. It’s a long process retraining people how to treat you. It works though. While I don’t crave extended time away from my family, I love that I am able to get out for the evening or occasional weekend and self indulge. I used to choose to stay home no matter how much my husband thought I needed to get out, get a hobby, hang out with friends, etc. I never wanted to get out before. Home, quiet with my family or just by myself reading was my idea of relaxing.

Times have changed! lol I’m out of the house more than my husband is now and I make time for both myself and time with friends. It was hard for me to not feel guilty at first because I felt like I should have been there with my family just in case they needed me. I think it was a misguided ego that put that thought in my head. My kids are in very good hands when home with their dad. I always knew that but climbed up on the cross of mommy-martyr anyway. But, like I said, I had to retrain people to have different expectations of me. It turns out, the hardest person to retrain was myself.

“Love is not sabotaging” exactly!

If we as people can find a way to truly “Love” one and other, that “Love” will be returned.
Often, we don’t know how to talk, be, and continuously live in “Loving” ways that allows us to grow as people, especially people in coupled relationships. This however, is what we are suppose to do; Love each other enough to set our relationship(s)on fire.

To quote another source and not to get preachy, but: “Love is patient, kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.”

We as (broken) humans almost always lose sight of what real Love is supposed to look like, while settling for the (misguided) Love we have.

You are a great friend to voice your thoughts to her in hopes for change, but change will only happen when the fog of (self) worthlessness evaporates. Hopefully that veil has been lifted. Only time will tell.

Ugogurl!
